Application

Layer CI

Set up a free trial

Go fast without breaking things. LayerCI gives your team efficient CI/CD & preview environments to build full-stack web apps faster.

Our core differentiator is that we automatically snapshot and cache repetitive steps like npm install and docker-compose run web rake db:migrate. No need to specify cache keys to keep things moving quickly.

With these snapshots we also offer per-branch staging servers that sleep when you're not using them. Don't waste time setting up your own preview envs.

It's super simple to get started, and we have a guided onboarding to get you set up quickly:

  1. Install this application
  2. Create a file named Layerfile anywhere in your repository with these contents:
FROM vm/ubuntu:18.04
RUN echo hello
  1. Visit the dashboard to iterate on the Layerfile at https://layerci.com/dashboard - Use the plus button on the bottom of the sidebar to choose from a configuration template and iterate without needing to commit anything.

Our pricing has tiers for both startups ($35/mo flat regardless of usage) and enterprise (starting at $2999/mo). We're incentivized for everything to run quickly so that we don't have to spend our computing resources running npm install 50 times per developer per day unnecessarily.

Per-organization commits dashboard (green buttons lead to details for each Layerfile runner)
Details for a single Layerfile run: Use "View website" to load the ephemeral environment, and the debugging terminal to load the snapshot and debug.
Guided installer has templates for most technologies, and can be adapted to any language or framework that runs in Linux.
